    Question Another "how do you say" question

    Gaelic speakers. Can anyone tell me how to say "How is this night different," or "why is this night different" if that is easier.

    Extra appreciation points for phonetic pronunciation instructions.

    Best regards,

    Jake

    Quite astute, Father. For a Burns Night speech I am trying to riff off the seder.

    Well it helps if you're a "Jewish Christian." Long, long story! Gut pesach!
